Paul didn’t wait for the perfect audience, the perfect moment, or the perfect response.
In Acts 17, he walked into Athens and spoke boldly about Jesus—even when he knew some would mock him.
That got me thinking:
Boldness isn’t about being loud.
It’s about being faithful.
We don’t have to force the conversation or win every argument.
We simply need to be willing to speak truth when God gives us the opportunity.
Be bold. Be gracious. Be faithful.
Let’s not be so concerned about how people will receive the message that we become afraid to share it.
And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, For we are indeed his offspring.”
Acts 17:26-28 ESV

Today, be bold for Christ.

Until my next post…
Be salty, stay lit.

I love how Paul struck up his conversation and people listened, even invited him back.
